Chapter 373 Chapter372-The Six Daggers with Exceptional Attributes
Within the glow, six uniquely designed daggers lay quietly in the box. Everyone's eyes widened, fixated on these six blades. Players of the assassin and rogue classes were particularly excited, as it was apparent that these daggers were perfectly suited for their equipment.
Isabella, with a charming smile, began to introduce them: "These six daggers are consigned to our auction by a formidable individual. Initially planned for separate sales, after Master Reo's personal appraisal, it was decided to auction these six daggers together as one lot..."
"As for the attributes of these daggers, I believe everyone will understand why they are included in the second round of the auction after seeing them..."
Following the direction of Isabella's hand, everyone simultaneously looked up, shifting their gaze to the overhead screen.
[Bone Spur Dagger (Epic Equipment): Originating from a powerful assassin organization, this is a formidable weapon specially issued to its members. The primary material is the spinal bone of a rare sub-dragon species, mixed with a variety of rare enchanted metals. Expensive to produce, but immensely powerful...]
[Level: 180 or Attack Power above 240]
[Attributes: +150 Agility, +140 Attack Power, +20% Armor Penetration, +15% Sustained Bleeding Effect…]
[Additional Skill: Deadly Poison (Passive Skill): Players equipped with this weapon can trigger a severe poison effect with each attack, causing an additional 1000 poison damage per second, lasting for 15 seconds (Note: This severe poison effect cannot be neutralized by antidotes below epic-tier)]
The moment the first dagger's attribute information appeared, most of the players were stunned. This... Although it's just an epic-tier weapon, aren't the attribute boosts a bit too overpowered? Not to mention the additional basic attribute enhancements, this passive skill alone makes this dagger far surpass the value of a typical epic-tier weapon.
An extra 1000 points of poison damage per second, lasting a full 15 seconds. This means that anyone, be it person or monster, wounded by this dagger would lose 15,000 health points over 15 seconds. And antidotes below epic-tier can't even neutralize this poisoning effect. Isn't this a certain death upon contact?
Except for heavily armored warriors and Paladins with their substantial HP. Now, which player has a base health of 15,000 points? Especially the assassin and rogue class players, they were completely frenzied at this point. From their looks, they seemed ready to rush the stage and seize these six daggers.
Isabella, observing the restless crowd below, had an unceasing smile in her beautiful eyes. "Everyone, there's no need to hurry. This is just the attribute of one of the daggers. An epic-tier weapon wouldn't be featured in the second round of the auction. Please, patiently look forward to the rest."
Hearing this, the audience was momentarily taken aback. Could it be that there were even better attributes among these daggers? The screen was already displaying the attributes of the second dagger.
[Shadowchill Dagger (Epic Equipment): Originating from a mysterious shadow master, one of his few legendary creations. The main material is the millennium permafrost crystal from the land of snow and ice, forged through countless mysterious rituals and special techniques, encapsulating immense energy...]
[Level: 200 or Attack Power above 280]
[Attributes: +180 Agility, +160 Attack Power, +25% Penetration Effect, +18% Freezing Effect…]
[Additional Skill: Deep Freeze (Passive Skill): Players equipped with this weapon can trigger a freezing effect with each attack, reducing the target's movement speed by 50%, lasting for 12 seconds]
The audience was dumbfounded again; here was another weapon far surpassing an epic equipment in power. However, before they could even express their amazement, the attributes of the third dagger appeared on the screen.
[Dark Blade (Epic Equipment): Once belonged to a master assassin from an ancient organization, this weapon symbolizes his legacy. It is considered an embodiment of dark forces, forged from sharp obsidian and emanating a sinister black glow. It possesses endless powers of slaughter and destruction…]
[Level: 200 or Attack Power above 280]
[Attributes: +120 Agility, +160 Attack Power, +25% Shadow Damage Bonus, +10% Life Steal Effect…]
[Additional Skill: Dark Rend (Active Skill): Players equipped with this weapon can summon the power of darkness to deliver a deadly strike, dealing an additional 500 shadow damage with each attack, and adding an extra 20% damage based on the target's current health (Note: Cooldown time: 30 seconds)]
…
…
With each dagger's information revealed, the players were filled with awe. Gradually, they even began to experience a certain aesthetic fatigue. It's inevitable; anyone who continuously sees such rare and precious weapons and equipment, which are usually hard to come by, would slowly develop an illusion.
Could it be that these items have become commonplace? It was only when the last dagger's attributes, the most overpowered among the six, were displayed that the players realized how wrong their initial thoughts were. There's always a higher mountain!
[Deathbringer from the Shadows (Legendary Equipment): A powerful weapon from an ancient assassin organization, once belonging to a top assassin mage. It has devoured the lives of countless strong foes. Its main material is a strange obsidian from the Dark Forest, fused with black soul energy, making its creation exceptionally difficult but immensely malevolent...]
[Level: 220 or Attack Power 260, Speed 270 above]
[Attributes: +200 Agility, +260 Attack Power, +30% Shadow Damage, +25% Critical Hit Rate...]
[Additional Skill: Curse of Darkness (Active Skill): Players equipped with this weapon can unleash dark energy to deliver a fatal blow, dealing damage equal to 300% of the attack power, and causing the enemy to enter a slowed state, reducing their movement speed by 50% for 10 seconds (Note: Dark state cannot be cleansed by purification skills)]
…
Assassin and rogue players went absolutely wild, and other players too were intensely fixated. Among these six daggers, there was actually one of a higher grade, a legendary dagger? Was this for real, or were they seeing things?
So, those previous five daggers were just accompaniments to this legendary dagger? Not just the ordinary players on the first floor, but also the big shots on the second floor stood up, their burning gazes locked onto the six daggers in the box. Especially Karthus from the Shadowrealm Guild.
Their Shadowrealm Guild already had the most assassin members among the top ten elite guilds globally, and their demand for daggers with powerful attribute enhancements was the greatest. Karthus's eyes twinkled with determination. He was resolved to win these six daggers at the auction.
The guild leaders of other major guilds harbored almost the same idea. Although their guilds didn't have as many assassin career players as the Shadowrealm Guild, such powerful equipment was irresistible to any guild.
Isabella patiently waited for the players to finish reviewing all the attribute information before speaking with a light laugh, "Alright, now we will auction all six daggers together. The starting bid is 10 million in cash, with each increment not less than two million."
A player attending the auction for the first time asked in confusion, "Isn't this in a game? Why are we starting to bid with real money?"
Someone nearby immediately explained, "You can tell this is your first time at an auction of this caliber. The second round of the auction has always been cash bidding. For such powerful weapons, who could afford them if the price was set in gold coins?"
"Even the top major guilds would struggle to pull out millions of gold coins, but cash is a different story. The wealthy don't care about a bit of cash..."
The new player suddenly had an epiphany.
Isabella quietly waited for the bids from the players below. She had a minimum expectation of at least 60 million for these six daggers. Now, it seemed her baseline was set too low. The players below hardly needed to consider; those eager big shots on the second floor would undoubtedly be the final winners.
However, before anyone could bid, a sinister voice suddenly echoed from among the crowd. "So, these six daggers are really in your possession? In that case, I think there's no need to continue this auction…"
The voice was old and resonated throughout the hall. The players turned in surprise, curious to see who would dare make such a bold statement in such a setting.
The crowd naturally parted, revealing a stooped figure shrouded in a black robe.
In the second-floor boxes, the big shots cast curious glances, while John continued to lie on the sofa, a cold smile curling at his lips. Had he been waiting all this time just for the appearance of these six daggers?
When the players saw the figure, their expressions turned peculiar. They never expected to see such an elderly player in the game...
Though the black robe concealed the person's face, the figure and voice clearly indicated their age.
One player couldn't help but snicker, "Old man, you really are a veteran of the game. At your age, maybe it's better to stay home and spend time with your grandchildren, don't you think?"
